Can you recommend a suitable screen shield for my Hermes? I need a kind of a crystal surface (like some Notebooks nowadays have).
Cheers

Do you have bubbles under the protection? Do you see the protection or is your shield really invisible ?
For my first two devices I used Brando anti-glare protectors (shop.brando.com.hk) and was very happy. It was a couple of years ago though, so they may have changed since.
But whatever you do, don't buy Proporta!
Their protectors are too small for the screen of the TyTN, and when (on their recommendation) you return the protector they will not send you a replacement. And when you tell them how unhappy you are with the situation they just stop answering your emails.

If applied properly & very carefully, then there are no bubbles. I have none, and it's transparent.
I use exim screen protector. I can definitely recommend it to anyone.
i agree with tiatrop,
i use the exim SPUC screen protectors on all my devices.
you can peel them off and reapply them,
the instruction says you can even wash them, but i've yet to try it.
and any bubbles when putting them on, can easily be pushed out.
I agree with bamse, I've been using Brando for years, I did try another brand on my C500 a couple of years back, they didn't come up to scratch. I'm using on my herm, no probs no bubble (you need to spend a little time carefully applying).
Boxwave has some good screen protectors. I'm using their crystal clear on my 8525 now and had the anti-glare on my HP iPAQ.

I washed mine once. It fell on the carpet so you can imagine the things that got stuck there! Damaged the corner a little bit but it was completely reapplyable, and I managed to get all the dust out with scotch-tape. Hence my recommendation.
Wow, thank you all for you recommendations. I definitely check them out.
But is there a way to apply a SP, without having bubbles? What you mean exactly with "carefuly"?
Do you use credit cards for that? I red that credit cards for appling are an evil thing.
I guess it's tall order to say make a youtube tutorial, haha...
cheers
PS. Do you have experience with http://www.pocketpctechs.com/ Shields?

I actually had this on my previous 8525 that I had to send back for warranty replacement. It is a booger to put on..took me a good half hour to do it right. The cutout pcs are not all exactly perfect but fit good enough. I really like it. It held up very well, gave the phone a slick glossy finish and made for good traction when I would set my phone down on my center console in my truck.(previously if I tried that it would slide(actually fly) off the vinyl covered console if I hit the brakes too hard or turned a corner too fast... with the Shield on there it never slipped. I am going to order another one now for this warranty replacement as well..just been waiting to make sure this device didnt fail before installing another shield!

wouldnt a credit card or anything similar work?
I've been using screen protectors for some time now on my previous and current PDA's and phones; HP has a nice system of protectors that have grids on the removable side to assist in visually getting the best fit. Would never use my 8525 without one... and yes, anything like an old credit card, cut to the right size, will work to get air bubbles out.
But thanks to this thread, I've now ordered the Bodyshield; if it's all it's claims to be, AND with a lifetime guarantee, it should be worth the $24.95.

It does not come with tools, but the instructions recommend a credit card. Note that this is re-applyable if U have bubbles on the 1st try.
[The Bodyguardz] Tips & Techniqus !!! Pls. feel free to share your experience here: )
Hi guys,
I presented you a little tips & techniques on how to install the Bodyguardz. : )
Any body here using the Bodyguardz? Mostly I saw you guys talking bout the
Invisible shield. I know some of you are using the Bodyguardz right?
I got it a couple of days ago and installed it, now it's all dry up and
ready to use! I'll show you guys some pics of the result.
Overall, the installation processes took me about 5 hrs (a bit slow right?
I just did it step by step slow and clam LoL~) I want to share you guys
some tips here. (If you guys considering to apply the Bodyguardz I suggest
you to carefully read the whole manual inside the box first. )
The following tips is not included in the manual. I hope you guys find
it useful in some ways. : )
- I did this in my kitchen just beside the stove's top (weird right? Some
people did this in a bathroom) and then I boiled the water with a large size pan
on a high temperature. The reason of all these is to generate a steam!
In order to limited the movement of all the dusts! so that when we're installing
the Bodyguardz the steam can help reduced the chance of any dusts appeared
under the Bodyguardz and the screen. (BUT shame on me, finally I got
1-2 very tiny eyebrows on the screen... Anyway, luckily that it's not on
the center of the screen! LoL~) One more thing, I also took the battery
out before I applied the Bodyguardz.
- After I applied the front part, I left it dry for about an hour. Then the back
part with a little use of palm technique on each of the corners. (I guess you
guys already know the palm technique right?) The back part is a bit
tricky though.
Now, the rear part. Overall the T-mobile TP2 has 9 pieces
of the rear part. Those rear pieces that stick to the upper part of the phone
(the screen half) is pretty easy. But those rear pieces that stick to the
lower part of the phone (the key board half) required huge!
amount of patience because of those little slope that lean toward the back cover.
(so be cool guys )
So now you got all pieces of the Bodyguardz on your phone right?
Then I left lied down for 30 mins, then I used the palm technique
for the next 45 mins. (all over)
Then here comes the trick! I suggest you guys to use the 'Cling Wrap'
(like the one wrapping your sandwiches LoL~) to wrap the whole phone.
Tightly wrap the phone by focused on those corners and edges.
Moreover, I used the clear sticky tape to taped those corners and edges
again to forced those corners, edges and rear pieces down. (use the tape on the Cling Wrap not on the Bodyguardz)
All these is to keep those corners and edges stick to the phone.
Then I left it over night. Now your phone will look like a Mummy!!!
By the end of the next day I cut big hole on the front plastic wrap
to let it breath a bit.
By the next morning I took the whole wrap things out.
And everything is perfect! From now on, no scratches on my phone!
Finally, I can stop worry about the scratches issue.
Feel free to use the above techniques. (BUT IF ANY DAMAGE OCCURRED
TO YOUR PHONE, I'LL NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY.)
If you guys already know about those tricks I must apologize for
posting something that you guys already know.
If any of you have any further tips and techniques then you are more than
welcome to share them here.
Cheers!
Looks good, I have a set coming in for my TP2 and Zune HD. Your tips should come in handy. Thanks
I have it on my phone now. i wouldn't have any other screen cover on my phone. its not the easiest to install but its worth the stress. let me tell you a blower dryer makes it 10 times easier.
thing that piss me off was i got to pieces of lint stuck under the protector and i didnt notice it until it was completely dry.
i would reccomend this 100 percent. the customer service is also excellent. i had a bodyguardz on my g1 and couldnt be more happy. you also get life time replacements.

I'm totally agree with you about their customer service.
They're very nice.
be sure to check there twitter page before you order they have promo codes posted there sometimes. im bout to use my second set already corners came lose already for me.
Looks great on your Tmobile, but if you have a VERIZON TP2, you DO NOT want a Bodyguardz. The one they sent me has a front facing camera cutout for the screen protector. It's going back on Monday.
I'm going to order the Ghost Armor protector, which was specifically made for Verizon.
I Just put this one last night on my TMO Tp2 - its by far better then the zagg/bestskings , No finger drag.. Also the wrap method is a great idea, helps get rid of moisture and made the install near perfect (not completly because I just wasn't steady enough to get it perfectly aligned) but good enought.

Hey there!
The palm technique is how you pressed those edges and corners (or any other
parts) against your palm firmly about like 1 min I supposed... or longer if you
if you want, let the heat from your palm send through to the Bodyguardz
in order to forced those edges and corners down.
Cheers

dude you probably ordered the wrong one. if the one you ordered didnt specifically say for verizon then you got the wrong one. they have great customer service, id reccomend calling them and asking for a verizon version instead. not zure if they have a verizon one out yet though.
@ what150. Great job on the protector install. One of the better installs I have seen. But 5 hours? Man, I don't have the patience for that. I used the method of what another guy had mentioned in here, the hair dryer helped me speed things up a lot more. But I still took my time when applying the protector to the device. A hurry up rush job will get you an ugly install. I learned that from a G1 install about a year ago.
Once again, props to you for a clean install.

็ำัLoL~ Thanks man, but I didn't spend 5 hours in front of the phone
Though, I spent a lot of time using my palm pressed against those edges and curves. (While, I watched the movie...)
I'm not sure about the hair dryer cuz I heard that it's not the best way to do it.
(I'm not sure whether I read those from the Bodyguardz website, or from its Youtube videos.) But, I may be wrong! may be it's better to speed things up a bit
Cheers
@ greatbrit
Nice find! 20% off is a good bargain.
Actually, Bodyguardz reccommends a blowdryer on the cool or low setting in 5 second intervals to speed up the process. I did just that and it turned out great.

Screen Sensitivity?
Is there any noticeable loss of screen touch sensitivity-- do you have to press harder, etc., with the Bodyguardz protector?
I just received a set of these -- screen only -- but haven't yet installed it... Now that Boxwave will soon (Oct 9) have a screen protector available for the TMo TP2, Bodyguardz aren't my only option that fits, so I was just wondering...

I thought it was one of the easier protectors to apply, and it looks and feel great
So anyone got the Verizon version of the bodyguardz yet? How does it look and does everything line up good?
Today I received a screen protector in the mail (came free with a case), so I decided to change out the old one that came pre installed on the X10. Of course once everything was removed and when I started to apply the new one, all of the dust in the house was magically attracted to the new one, rendering it useless.
I'm now stuck without a screen protector, and have growing paranoia that my screen is going to get messed up. Looks like I'll have to order a new one.
Until then, does anyone have an X10 with the protector removed? Has your screen scratched after extended normal use?
I'll probably be stuck without one for a week so I hope it lasts.
Truth : I suspect you won't have much success, if any, finding someone who's successfully scratched their X10 screen. There is one user however, who's succeeded in cracking the screen -- I remember having read a thread about it

Well you've got at least two now, momerbk and gavriel18 on another thread has stated his is "mashed" now due to not having one, so I'd get one on asap.
Not forgetting the guy who's was run over, that was pretty scratched
I've gotten some minor scratches but they are very hard to see... and from my personal tests the X10 screen hides scratches better then the Dell Streak

Rofl, I saw that one as well, although it doesn't really fit into my "normal use" category
I'm pretty careful with my stuff, I'll just have to avoid buses until I get a new screen protector lol.
This thread is somewhat putting me at ease though!
Semi related: Are there any scratch test videos for the X10?
Multiple scratches and a chip. Still don't know how I managed that...
haha lol. I scratched mine within 3 weeks ... I have now one big scratch and a few little scratches blegh.
Are you guys sure you really scratched the glass or is it just the original screen protector? The original screen protector scratches very easily. That is why I removed mine and replaced it with something better.
mine is still mint, I work in bean processing plant(dusty), spend most of my days off at the beach with the kids. That's no proof that it won't get scratched one day but I doubt it will make people think less of me if i have a scratch on my screen

I'm pretty sure they all have them stock. Take a closer look at the lower part of the screen near the buttons. You should be able to see it there. it is an exact fit protector so it's almost impossible to see that it's there.

Hmm it does look that way, although I can't seem to get it if it's is one) off
Another quick question:
I've heard that some of the better screen protectors can actually hide previous scratches once they are applied, is that actually true?
I've ordered both the clear coat screen protector and also that free stealthguard protection thing, so I'm hoping that one of those will be sufficient

I put one of the free stealthguards on mine Saturday. I only used he screen guard not the full body though. It was a little difficult to get the oem screen protector off but only until you get it started. Once it starts peeling it comes off fairly easy.
i have my phone in a leather case without a screen protecter, never been a fan of them and my screen is immaculate... so far it is only almost 3 weeks old though

wow just found it, i never noticed it LOL, it's a thick screen protector, sometimes when texting i noticed the phone sometimes missed keys wonder if it was because of the protector.
so can anyone confirm that there phone has been scratched without the OEM protector?
I think that extra thick shield is supposed to act as a "shatter resistant protector" so that if you do happen to smash the glass you don't get shards and splinters everywhere. It is much thicker than any screen protector i've seen before and taking it off will ruin it.
I took my oem one off and now have a deep scratch , not a clue how I did it. If I could go back I would definitely use protection lol. They may not be as pretty as the bare screen but they work.
Hello all. I have been waiting for SGP to make the crystal screen protector for the prime. While browsing for accessories I came across this promising prospect. This screen protector is not made by SGP but it way be worth your consideration. This brand is advertised as Armor Suit. I am going to order mines now and will provide and update on its use.

Update 2-11-2012
I received mine yesterday at work. As soon as I got home I opened the package and applied the new screen protector. The instructions recommend keeping the tablet off for about 24 hours after application before use. I did miss one part of the instructions which says to wet both sides of the screen protector. Make sure you do this because it will help you remove the liquid and bubble better with the rubber card. It has been over 12 hours since the application and it is curing nicely. I still have about 10 tiny wet bubbles that I am hoping will dry out before I say that it is perfect. One thing I did notice when I removed by prime from its folio case is that I had a tiny scratch a quarter of an inch up above the Asus logo. I was very upset about that because I handle my tablet like a baby, unless somehow the scratch was caused my the inside material of the case. Anyways, the good thing about this screen protector is that now you can no longer see the scratch. If this continues to cure like I hope it does, I will order another one for my girlfriends prime. Did I mention that wifi and GPS performance also improved after the application ??? Lol jk. The screen did lose a little of its smooth glide when swiping with your finger but that should improve over time. Touch response has been the same otherwise. I will provide an update in a couple of days once it has cured some more. If any of you reading this have purchased and installed the product, please provided your experience. I would like to know if the quality is consistent.
***Important***
Just an FYI to those who use the keyboard dock and are considering installing this screen applicator, removing the prime in and out of the keyboard dock is extremely tight and is marking up the screen protector film where the dock and screen meet. I am going to contact the manufacturer about this to see if they are aware of this issue...

looking forward to your update! only problem i have with their listing on amazon is that i says its non sticky, but also says its self healing... i sell screen protectors in a sprint store. from my experience, the self healing ones tend to be the orange peels and rubbery (sticky) kind. but if im wrong, please let me know! interested in this!

Will do, I received my order confirmation last night. Standard shipping so maybe sometime next week I will have it.
Lifetime warranty means you'll ruin 5 of them just trying to install them! This is why right now I'm not wearing a condom on my Prime. If I can't get the perfect screen protector on there perfectly then I just won't do it at all. I'm fairly careful with the front and I may eat my words one day.
Mine should be here today thanks to prime shipping I will give my feedback on this protector later this afternoon
Ok abit of an update, just installed the protector first impressions are this
Install was the best ive done in about 10 protector installs over the years, protector comes off the backing with very little pull, enough solution that i was able to wet my fingers twice and soak the adhisive side and front side well enough that it only took one attemt to postion the protector to the screen and boom it was done after a little squgiing with the rubbery card they give you, i had 3 tiny bubbles that came out easily then 2 slightly smaller bubbles along the top rim that im just gonna have to wait out till tomorrow
So so far im enjoying it, havnt noticed any imperfections, cut outs were extremely accurate now to just wait
Edit: The feels exactly like the screen if not a bit smoother at the moment not sure if this will remain but its pretty slick at the moment

Sending a thanks your way for your update. Later this afternoon I still had a couple of bubbles that I was to impatient on waiting to see if they would dry out and disappear so I decided to apply some of the solution on top of the surface and opted to use a credit card to push out the remaining bubbles (I did not like using the included rubber applicator much.) One Important item that I did not realize until now is that getting the tablet to dock with this screen protector is really, really tight. This may be a deal breaker for some. I don't use the keyboard dock all the time but it looks like the constant swap will make the screen protector look a little beat up at the bottom...

If it's clear and not matt, hows the anti fingerprint part of it working out?
Sent from my CM7 Atrix 4G
It seems to resist printing fairly well, I'd say it really only has showed them with hard swipes of the finger such as maybe playing fruit ninja for abit but just normal presses it rarely leaves one

Install was the best ive done in about 10 protector installs over the years, protector comes off the backing with very little pull, enough solution that i was able to wet my fingers twice and soak the adhisive side and front side well enough that it only took one attemt to postion the protector to the screen and boom it was done after a little squgiing with the rubbery card they give you, i had 3 tiny bubbles that came out easily then 2 slightly smaller bubbles along the top rim that im just gonna have to wait out till tomorrow
So so far im enjoying it, havnt noticed any imperfections, cut outs were extremely accurate now to just wait
Edit: The feels exactly like the screen if not a bit smoother at the moment not sure if this will remain but its pretty slick at the moment

That's understandable. This is my first time using a wet screen protector. I wasn't concerned about damaging the prime because I have the accidental protection plan.
Do you have to pay for the replacements? I know most of these "lifetime replacement" types you have to pay $5-$10 just to get them to mail you a new one.

aww thanks dood! i totally forgot about the protection plan! did you go through squaretrade?
back on topic: went with an Acase matte anti glare, dry install. took literally over an hour to get it perfect, but i did it. wish it woulda been easier, but im just too shy of the wet installs...
I'm looking for a top quailty anti-glare screen protector. I mainly want the anti-fingerprint part of it, but I like the matte screen look too. I had a Acase one on there, but the anti-fingerprint wasn't that great. I really wish Realook would come out with one for the Prime, b/c their's are awesome (have it on my phone). Realook (http://www.realook.us/dales_html/) has almost a textured feel to it, which is beyond awesome for keeping finger prints off. I have a email into them now to see if they plan on making one for the Prime.
I'm also thinking about NuSheild too:

I don't think you need to pay for a replacement. I should have an answer to that question in the next couple of days if they respond to an email I sent to them early today...

I can tell you the armor suit does very well reducing finger prints. Your fingers glide smoothly across the screen. Now this is something I am going to try my best to describe, when typing ( I use thumb keyboard) you sort of get what feels like a slight rubber bounce with each press, I actually like that. Obviously its going to feel different then just typing on the glass but for me it works.
I had my xperia S for about 2 weeks, i really dislike how much glare that it gives off with the stock screen protector. So i already some anti-glare screen protector online.
problem: can't get it off.
I have been picking at this for 15 mins, can't get anywhere. It would come off.
does anyone tips on how i can remove this???

Trust me, you have to destroy most of your fingernails..
Insist on one corner only, don't use sharp things such as knifes etc. you could scratch the screen.

would blow dryer make it easier?
When I removed mine from the arc I followed some advice and used a needle to pick at a corner. This did it straight away after many failed attempts with my nails. Just be careful you don't scratch the screen underneath but you should be fine.
However like I said in another thread I wouldn't recommend it, I think you should not see the factory applied screen protector as a screnn protector but rather part of the screen. It is applied perfectly and no matter how hard you try doing it yourself, you'll never manage to apply one as well...
Also on my arc I never actually notice that much difference in glare...
If you choose to stick a protector on it, I wrote this guild on the best way (imo) to apply a protector, enjoy!
